It's accessible from the front passenger's side.
From memory, it sits right above the tranny tunnel, in the direction of the gear lever.

thanks i found it today. you have to remove a small plastic panel to the right rear of the passenger footwell (right hand drive) on the side of the transmision tunnel.also remove the carpet trim under the glovebox.filter is secured by two 8mm headed srews then slide out.thanks for the reply

Can pollen filters be reused??? (referring to the Xantia)

the filter in the C5 is about the size and shape of an oblong air filter but the element is made of a fluffy fibre material so could not be cleaned should think the xantia was the same.the fibre material is light grey,mine was black certainly needed changing.
